Gabrielle Suver started running towards the end of high school but always had a desire to run, just didn’t have the opportunity until she switched high schools. She wasn’t anything special, was sickly small and frail as a kid, and her college running career was mediocre, but she was still new to the sport and battled an eating disorder all through high school among other health issues and plenty of injuries that prevented her from optimizing her performance early in her career. She completely stopped running towards the end of college due to excessive injuries that were a consequence from years of malnutrition and switched to bike racing until an accident occurred during a race that required elbow reconstruction in 2013 (3 plates, 15 screws, nerve damage, 2 surgeries and an infection). Later in 2013 she fractured her knee in a Cyclocross accident and graduated college. She stopped racing bikes, started running again, and went fully into triathlon by 2014. Unfortunately, around that same time she was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. It took years to figure out how to manage the condition and be able to train well with it.

As her body recovered from the damage of the eating disorder, she slowly became stronger and faster through learning how to take better care of her body and manage her health conditions. In 2015 she started working with her coach Rebecca Marsh of FR Racing and was ranked 6th in the state of Florida All-American for triathlon by the end of the year. She continued to slowly climb the ranks through the years with many wins, some DNFS, highs, and lows as she battled numerous health issues. By the end of 2019 Gabrielle was ranked #1 in the USA for duathlon in her age group and turned professional in duathlon by 2020. In 2021 she finished her first full Ironman as 12th overall amateur female and 5th in AG30-34 in Chattanooga in September, and then enjoyed the distance so much that she jumped in another one in October less than a month later with a 2nd overall female finish and took the 1st in AG30-34 at the USAT Ultra Triathlon National Championships. Then in 2022 she competed in her first Ironman World Championship in St George among the best triathletes from around the world and finished top 10 in AG 30-34. She continued to get faster over the next few years, dropping her half marathon time down to 1:19:24, 17:49 5k, 55:22 15k, and won her 2024 marathon debut at the Tallahassee marathon in 2:54 (and again in 2025). Gabrielle turned professional in triathlon late in 2022 with Ironman Arizona as her first pro race, and in 2024 made her first Pro top 10 finish at Ironman Cozumel (9th F Pro) with a 9:32 and the 3rd fastest run of the day (3:07). In 2025 she made her first Pro top 5 at Ironman Chattanooga (5th F Pro) with a 9:18:20 and 2nd fastest run of the day (3:05). She still works full time as a PE teacher, and her faith in God is her greatest strength that keeps her going and progressing despite all the challenges.
